Okikawa Maru Dive Site — Philippines

About Okikawa Maru

A massive 160-meter Japanese oil tanker resting upright in Coron Bay, making it one of the most accessible WWII wrecks in the area. The superstructure starts at just 10m, allowing safe exploration even for intermediate divers. Enormous cargo holds are draped in soft corals, with resident schools of batfish, lionfish, and scorpionfish throughout.
